Abstract: A new species Cicadatra barbodi sp. nov. was collected from Lorestan province
in western Iran and its morphology and calling song are described. The new
species sings with the head downward and its song is comprised of a continuous
series of steady phrases with short interecheme intervals. The average of
duration for phrases and interecheme intervals was 1.442 and 0.047 seconds and
the peak frequency was determined to be 9.562 kHz (n = 2). The average rate at
which phrases were produced was 1.5 per second and the duration of pulses
within phrases was 0.001 second. The diagnosis of morphological and acoustic
characters of the new species from other closely related cicada species are also
given. Cicadatra cataphractica Popov, 1989 is transferred to Psalmocharias
Kirkaldy, 1908 to become Psalmocharias cataphractica (Popov, 1989)
comb. nov.
Key words: Cicadidae, new species, calling song, Iran, Psalmocharias cataphratica, new combination
